still further object of theinvention is lflie provision of a hook-such as above re` ferrcd to, which will be comparatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, reliable and efficient in use, and readily operated. f Y

lilith the above and other objects in View, the presentinvention resides in thenovel features of construction.V formations, vcombinations. and arrangements of parts, torbe hereinafter more fully described, claimed,

yand killustrated in the accompanying drawpresent applica- Application led September 12, 1921. SerialvNo. 500,072.

A pair @flugs are shown at 15, formed upon the head 11 and serve the purpose of a nail; Y puller to remove nails and the like from'the logs.V u Y c Y 'The upper portion'of the head `11 is cut awaybetween thelugsrto form a tapered socket 16, the lugs beingprovided with a pair of lips 17 which engage the nailwithv out obstructing the nail head from view.

Prom `the foregoing description ,taken in connection with the accompanying draw ing, it will be manifest'tha't a`=hoo`kof the: nature described is provided which will fulfil all of the necessary requirements of such a device. and it should be understood in this connection, that various minor changes in' the specific details of construction can Abe resorted to'within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit orV sacrn'icing v any of Vthe advantages of the,

invention.

Having thus fully described. the invention, what claim as new and desire to protectbv Letters Patent isi- Y y 1.
